Modi and Re-hyphenating Bharath with Pakistan

      Suddenly all those channels which used to be critical of fundamentalism and  favouring Aman ki Asha started hailing Modi and his brand of foreign policy.Any body frothing expletives against Pakistan becomes darling of the Media. Why this sudden change after LEMOA signing with USA?
India has been trying to dehyphenate itself from a failed state Pakistan for a long time while the US government was bent upon keeping the two countries in one orbit  in every aspect while at one stage the US government  even wanted to make a triangle   of India,Pakistan and Afghanistan.
   
       Now all these efforts of somany years have gone waste with every channel in India foul mouthing Pakistan, cross border terrorism and lauding surgical strikes.One can see the trolls in Whatsup, Twitter facebook etc finding our PM as the best PM as decided by UN!!! Suddenly we find Nawaz sheriff occupying lime light in Indian media  along with General Shareef the villain of the piece. Anyone voicing contrary opinion is forced to shut shop as they are being branded as anti-national. While all this is happening the Pakistani establishment which controls their state must be smirking with satisfaction as this free re  hyphenating occurring without any effort on their part.

     The real villain of the piece, one can easily see is the US Government with little help from Modi whom they clearly understood is gullible for flattery if only praise him as the leader who thinks out of Box solutions to complex issues. The following are some of the out box decisions taken by Modi sacrificing vital national interest to please western MNC interests
    1. Signing the climate deal
    2.Signing LEMOA with USA
    3,Signing Rafale deal discarding years of negotiations to get best terms bypassing Defence Finance experts
    4.Going to Nawaz. birthday party and not following up on that and giving the GHQ of Pakistani army to sabotage the initiative which should have been expected.
    5.Almost complete alienation of  PDP and national conference leadership in Kashmir
    6.  Allowing chest thumping by Defence Minister
    7.  Politicising of Defence forces
    8.Gifting $1 billion to Afghanistan's Ghani who was elected with Pakistan help while the world's richest 35 nations at Brussels pledged only $ 3 billion which may fructify or not. As the Kunduz operation shows the emerging power may be Taliban.
    9. Pushing Russians to do business with Pakistan by disregarding FGFA deal and other aviation deals which are vital for IAF.
   10.  The withdrawal of petition by American government regarding declaring Pakistan as a terrorist state is a clear sign of Modis NRI friends stupidity. as most of the signatures came from India.
   11.Alienating China By talking against CPEC. Media highlighting diversion of some small river which will not affect the flow in Brahmaputhra, while talking about Indus water treaty. Venturing into South China sea without getting ASEAN concurrence. USA will not fight China even on behalf of Taiwan and Japan as it can never send  soldiers into countries with WMDs.
 
        There may be many more. But what one finds is Media fatigue with Pakistan occupying disproportionate space. The re hyphenation of Pakistan was complete at BRICS SUMMIT which also had heads of Government from BIMSTEC Countries. In his single minded attack on Pakistan at these august conclaves Modi was isolated except may be support from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh which were also qualified  But Modi was lectured in open by Myanmar Premier about not clubbing a nation with terrorism as only a few indulge in it. Modi lost an important opportunity to high light BRICS BANK achievements, talk to China about balance of payments, currency reform, inter  BRICS trade and ofcourse terrorism which should not have fixated on Pakistan and Mullah Azhar alone but could have been done  in a clever way BIMSTEC  was the worst case scenario  where trade was uppermost in their minds.
   
       Whether this chest thumping is going to win elections in UP has to be seen .Defence Minister Parrikar who seems to have unlimited kitty to splurge on weapons and not on make in India weapon systems like Tejas fighters or Indian DRDO  missile defence systems. Surgical strikes could have been milked in a sophisticated way.Just because Congress has Rahul, does not mean  BJP can take things granted with Mayawathi is expected  show strong results.

       Now one can see Indian foreign policy is dictated by NRI interests and how these will affect in the long run is to be seen as American boots come calling in Indian bases and Indian neighbours loose respect for India. If only instead on harping on CPEC Modi looks at the map of India and allows Chinese to construct an Eight lane high way linking China's west to Gujarat coast thus killing CPEC relevance to China. We are actually playing the game for US arms lobby instead of thinking about self reliance

Memogate of Mansoor Ijaz and Lessons for India

A Memo purported to be written by Mr.Mansoor Ijaz on the instructions of Pakistan’s Ambassador to USA and delivered to General Mullen has already claimed the head of the ambassador.What is intriguing in the whole affair is the denial by both the principal actors about their own role and both trying to prove their own versions by showing their Blackberry phone records( controlled from Canada by RIM).Now if according to Mansoor Ijaz the memo was prepared immediately after the Osama operation in Abbotobad and fall out in Pakistani army due to that, then why he is releasing it now?Why he kept it secret all these months and what was the need now to expose Ambassador Haqqani?
I think for this one must know more about Mansoor Ijaz.His father was one of those Nuclear engineers who fashioned early Nukes of USA.Mansoor himself qualified as a Nuclear Physicist from Cal tech.But he founded and chaired Crescent Investment Management LLC in 1991, an entirely a new genre.Who provided the seed money for this venture that he could appoint Lt.Gen James Alan Abrahamson (USAF RTD), a former director of President Reagan’s star wars programme and also James Woolsey (Director CIA RTD) to his board.The focus of his company was high technology,telecommunications,oil and gas investments and infrastructure development.
Prince Alfred von Liechtenstein was also on the advisory board and this shows that black money and Hawala transactions of the subcontinent must be also his forte.All those Big fat cats of sub continent from Politics, Business, Media etc etc who have their ill gotten wealth stashed away in Liechtenstein will be known to Mansoor Ijaz. A powerful tool for blackmail and doing their bidding especially as their career in Politics becomes untenable in case of exposure.
Another interesting thing is that Mansoor IJaz is also one of the directors in a company registered in Isle of Man called Crescent Hydropolis resorts LLC which has also German connection.This company has under sea resorts built in Dubai,Monaco,Las vegas and Oman.All areas where the Super rich of the third world squander their wealth along with Super rich of the west.
StratCom International, a firm headed by Lt Gen James Abrahamson, the first director of the US Star Wars programme, was seeking India's partnership in the stratospheric airship project for its expertise in vehicle design, payloads and control systems.Though the Airship developed for USA will hover at 70,000 feet high above the civilian air traffic and had ballistic missile sensor , interceptor platforms (Metal storms Ltd developed)and in effect an AWACS.But the Indian offer was for a platform at 50,000 feet to monitor LOC and LAC of Indo/Pakistan and Indoa/china border.ISRO’s Amtrix and Devas deal in which it sold S band to Devas comes to my mind at this juncture.
Mnasoor Ijaz has strong Turkish business connection and they jointly bid for Pakistan PTCL privatisation cake but ultimately won by UAE based EITLISAT .
Mansoor tried to make Pakistan government to recognise Israel when Benazir was ruling and again when General Musharaff was having his Military dictatoship. Both the times he could not succeed.But he did succeed in making Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to meet General Musharaff at Agra inspite of his Kargil Mis adventure and taking over as Dictator from Nawaz Sheriff. Mansoor being an Ahmediya was not much respected in Pakistani Army circles. But he had the ear of Musharaff. He also had the ear of Vajpayee shows the tremendous clout he had with US government and also amongst Indian Business class who support right wing BJP.
The Memogate is lapped up by the Pakistani people as a betrayal of their country and Armed forces but none seem to think it could be a CIA job as was the Gulf of Tonkin,Iraq WMD or the recent Saudi ambassador assassination attempt by Iran. Everybody seem to think it could be a Zardari job in which Haqqani was made the fall guy.
With American business interests entering big way into Indian privatisation as also Indian Arms purchases, the Military Industrial complex of Americans have a vested interest to exploit the Indian Democratic system which has many cracks in the form of regional parties who show rare interest in Global issues and Military matters.
The recent Koodankulam agitation against a Nuke plant being built by Russians by villagers who are guided by foreign vested interests, the concerted effort against Indian Home Minister P.Chidambaram( one of the best we had in recent times),the closure of Bhopal tragedy cases against the DOW chemical and the various other ways the western nations benefit at the expense of ordinary Indians are all related to these types of operatives like Mansoor Ijaz who use every tool in their kitty to get their way especially blackmail involving foreign accounts of Indians .Indian scientists from ISRO,DRDO,AEC etc must be warned about these operatives and they normally use SEMINARS in 5 star hotels to trap our lowly paid Scientists and Bureaucrats.Every one in Indian strategic community who deal with any foreigner for that matter must be given instructions about these sophisticated operatives.
